Garland SF-03

Garland SF-03

The " Garland SF-03" (ガーランド SF-03) is a fictional race car driven by Sugo Grand Prix driver Henri Claytor in the anime series Future GPX Cyber Formula.

History

Following the dismal failure of the Garland SF-02 in 2019, Claire Fortran further refined her design into the superb Garland SF-03. In a surprising move it saw former World Champion Hayato Kazami at the wheel in addition to Henri Claytor. Hopes ran high among the team with their new design, but these hopes were quickly dashed when Aoi ZIP Formula unveiled the new Al-Zard NP-1 and its rookie driver Phil Fritz which shattered all records in the first round denying the Garland any hope of victory for the rest of the season. This performance gap lead Kazami to abandon the design and use the new ν-Asurada AKF-0 instead to pursue his title shot. The best finish for the SF-03 came early in the year in Canada where it finished 3rd (later 2nd following Aoi's disqualification that year).

The following year Sugo struggled to keep pace with the ever spiraling costs in the sport and performance suffered, only the driving talent of Kazami secured the team another World Championship. The SF-02 never managed to place on the podium and plans were in the works to scrap the SF-03. A deal with engine supplier GIO gave new life to the design and all efforts focused on mating the new engine seamlessly to the existing chassis. As a result the SF-03/G despite gaining weight, showed a tremendous increase in engine power which translated directly into more points. The new SF-03/G managed a 2nd place finish in Argentina and scored 5 more points than the previous year.

Hopes are high in 2023 with the newcomer to the team veteran driver Edelhi Bootsvorz at the wheel of the new SF-03/G. The new model shaves off some weight and improves overall aerodynamic efficiency compared to the previous year.

Design

Like the previous versions, the SF-03 is a six-wheeled, monocoque design with no variable chassis system. The Garland has always emphasized simplicity and reliability along with ease of use. Compared to other machines, the Garland is a relatively easy machine to drive. While basically the same dimensions as its predecessors, the aero package has been completely redone with a dramatic improvement in down force for a small drag penalty.
